Just then, Qi Jincheng's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Because he was worried about Qiao Xi, and Ye Lang had said that she wasn't with him, he answered the phone, praying that it was Qiao Xi calling him.

Sure enough, it was Qiao Xi's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

After confirming that Qiao Xi was safe and sound, Qi Jincheng immediately informed Bai Xiuyan, "It was Xi'er who called."

"Now you believe me, right?" Ye Lang said with a sigh of relief.

Unable to contain his worry for Qiao Xi, Qi Jincheng greeted Bai Xiuyan, saying, "I'm going to find her."

Bai Xiuyan waited silently for Qi Jincheng to leave, but he didn't leave; he hadn't yet done what he wanted to do.

The little girl is alright now, but the fact remains that they attacked her, so how could he possibly let them get away with it?

Kindness has never been his way of handling things; he has always been one to settle scores and seek revenge.

As they locked eyes, Bai Xiuyan, showing no regard for Ye Lang, once again uttered a soft shout, "Smash!"

After that shout, his men really started attacking, and the key was that none of Ye Lang's bodyguards dared to stop them.

"Bai Xiuyan!" Ye was furious and confronted Bai Xiuyan directly, almost ready to attack him.

However, Bai Xiuyan's bodyguard, A Fei, stayed by his side at all times, making it impossible for him to do anything.

The bar was immediately filled with the sounds of smashing and breaking, creating quite a commotion.

After smashing enough, Bai Xiuyan planned to head home. But before leaving, he said to Ye Lang in a low voice, "Don't touch anyone from the Bai family."

People from the Bai family?

Ye Lang instantly confirmed his guess: that woman was connected to both Qi Jincheng and Bai Xiuyan, and the only person they could both protect was one person!

The heir of the Bai family, Bai Xiuyan's niece, and Qi Jincheng's wife!

The bar manager suddenly mustered his courage and said, "They're the ones who messed with those girls."

"This man tried to take advantage of those ladies, that's why he attacked them." The bar manager pointed precisely at the man who had just been knocked down by Jun Jiuge.

Bai Xiuyan's icy gaze swept over him instantly, and the man shook his head frantically in fright. He wanted to speak, but his mouth was covered and he couldn't say anything.

"Take it off," Bai Xiuyan instructed A Fei.

Afei obediently removed the gag from the man's mouth. The man hurriedly begged Bai Xiuyan for mercy: "Master Bai, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again, please spare my life."

His pleading with Bai Xiuyan like that proves that the manager was telling the truth.

Bai Xiuyan's face suddenly darkened, and Ye Lang added, "I originally planned to chop them up and throw them at the entrance of Dunhuang."

Bai Xiuyan was quite familiar with the name Dunhuang, and he accurately pronounced the name of the Dunhuang boss, "Qian Laosan".

Upon hearing Bai Xiuyan mention his boss's name, the man became even more timid and pleaded, "Master Bai, Master Bai, spare my life!"

...

After Qiao Xi used Li Xiaoxiao's phone to call Qi Jincheng, she called Li Xiaoxiao's driver. She stayed by Li Xiaoxiao's side while she was drunk, not daring to leave, and unable to go to A Jin, so she could only wait for A Jin to come to her.

Just as Li Xiaoxiao was picked up by the driver, Qiao Xi saw Qi Jincheng across the street and ran towards him as fast as she could.

“Ah Jin”.

"Xi'er." Qi Jincheng hugged her tightly, cupped her face and kissed her passionately, like lovers who had been separated for a long time, but perhaps even more exaggeratedly.

Qiao Xi didn't refuse him. Thinking about what happened a few hours ago, she was still shaken. But now, being held in Qi Jincheng's arms and feeling the warmth of his embrace, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

After kissing her, he carefully cupped Qiao Xi's face in his hands, gently touching it with concern, and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Qiao Xi shook her head vigorously, then apologized to him sincerely, "I'm sorry, I forgot to send you my location, and I also lost my phone."

Indeed, not only did she not send him her location, she also went to that kind of place without telling him.

Before this, I was only thinking about her safety and didn't think about settling scores. Now it's time to settle them properly.

Qi Jincheng suddenly looked at Qiao Xi with a serious expression and said, "Yes, Xi'er actually went to that kind of place without telling me."

Qiao Xi opened her mouth, slightly shocked and feeling guilty, and weakly asked, "You know?"

"Xi'er, are you not planning to tell me?" Qi Jincheng asked, feigning anger as he scrutinized her.

Qiao Xi shook her head repeatedly to explain, "No, absolutely not. Li Xiaoxiao took me there. I only realized it was a bar when I got there."

"Li Xiaoxiao?" Qi Jincheng heard an unfamiliar name.

Qiao Xi hurriedly said, "My new classmate."

Qi Jincheng nodded knowingly, and said happily for her, "It seems that Xi'er already has a friend."

"Mmm." Qiao Xi nodded vigorously.

The smile that had finally appeared on Qi Jincheng's face vanished instantly. He gently lifted Qiao Xi's chin and said meaningfully, "But taking Xi'er to those kinds of friends..."

Before Qi Jincheng could finish speaking, Qiao Xi held up three fingers on her right hand and swore, "I promise I won't go again."

Qi Jincheng seemed half-believing her words, and Qiao Xi pitifully grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Husband, what will it take for you to forgive me?"

After a brief eye contact, Qi Jincheng smiled. How could he not believe her? The first thing he thought of when she disappeared was her safety, not that she was deliberately ignoring him to see someone else.

Even knowing she went to the bar, his first thought was still about her safety, not that she had secretly gone to the bar without telling him.

When Qiao Xi saw the sudden smile on his face, she felt a little uneasy. Was this the calm before the storm?

Just as Qiao Xi was hesitating, Qi Jincheng took a cell phone out of his pocket and put it in her hand, saying, "Keep it safe."

Qiao Xi looked at the black phone in her hand and felt that it was somewhat similar to her own phone. However, because she hadn't added any decorations to it, it was easy for her phone to look like someone else's.

She unconsciously checked her fingerprints against her own, and they actually matched. She asked in surprise, "Where did you find it?"

"A bar," Qi Jincheng answered her question directly.

Qiao Xi's eyes widened in even greater surprise. She hadn't even asked him how he knew she was at the bar, and now he had found her phone there. Had he gone to the bar too?

"You went to the bar too?" Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask.

Qi Jincheng suddenly put his arm around Qiao Xi's waist, leaned down slightly to look closely at Qiao Xi's lips and whispered, "Just like Xi'er."
